Hello wacha,
I too have McCune ancestors from Ballygowan, and Kilmood and Ravara too.
James M McCune born 19 July 1871 in Kilmood lived in Ballygowan. He married a Mary Boyd? 1899. James and Mary moved to Pittsburgh, PA in 1907 with their 3 sons, Robert, James and Samuel.
I believe that James was the son of Robert McCune who died 29 June 1900. Robert McCune was married to Ann McCormick on 1 September 1866 in Saintfield, Down.
And I believe Robert McCune was the son of William McCune who died 18 April 1860.
I found a William McCune and James McCune to be on the Tithe Applotment List for Ravara, Killinchy, Down in 1833. And there is a Samuel McCune who is on the Freeholders List for 1776 in Ravara.

I am sure there is some sort of connection between our McCune's. If any of this sounds familiar feel free to share any information.

Hello, I am presented with an issue I am not sure how to go about solving.
I have an ancestor named Edmund Duckworth (b. abt 1806 in England) emigrated to New York City in abt 1834. He married Catherine Beatty, born abt 1814 in Ireland, in New York City in 1835. Edmund was naturalized in the NYC Marine Court in 1838 and after that no record of him in the USA can be found. One of his sons, Samuel Ezekiel Duckworth was born in 1847 in Bogota, Colombia, and died in Brooklyn in 1917. His obituary stated that his father Edmund was United States Consul General to the United States of Colombia and later moved to Panama where he lived for some years. There are numerous records of his wife and his children traveling between Aspinwall, Panama, and NYC.
Sooo, my question is how would I go about finding a death record of Edmund Duckworth if he died in Panama? I am mainly interested in the birthplace, birth date, parentage, etc. of Edmund. If anyone has access to any Panama records, a look-up would be fantastic . Otherwise, any ideas would also be greatly appreciated. Thank you,

Ben

Thanks for the posts, they all helped. What baffles me the most is Hattie was born in 1854 in New York, and Edwina was born in 1860 in New Granada. With all the traveling this family seems to have done, I cannot find any immigration records as of yet. I found a record of Edwina D. Duckworth stating she died 15 Aug 1899.

Edit: I have found an immigration record of a Hattie Duckworth born 1854 in USA arriving from Panama on 3 June 1861 with a male named L Duckworth born 1842 in USA, his occupation is listed as being a merchant.

I am in need of some help finding some birth records from Indianapolis and a marriage record.

John A. Lipscomb, born July 28, 1852 Indianapolis, Marion, Indiana
Married Mary Jane Schroeder in 1870

And some of their children:
William Elmer Lipscomb, born 25 Nov 1873
Edwin Charles Lipscomb, born 1 Jan 1879
George Washington Lipscomb, born 20 Mar 1880
All 3 were born in Indianapolis. Any advice or help is greatly appreciated. 

I was reviewing a death record and became perplexed as to what I saw, and I was hoping you could help me out. I saw that the name of the deceased was listed as "Alexander McIntosh or Crerar" and the father was listed as "Donald McIntosh or Crerar" Why does it say "or Crerar". And furthermore what does the MS mean as listed next to the mother in the image?
